2023 Fantasy Outlook
After splitting 2021 between three teams, Slye was Washington's kicker for all 17 games last season and converted 83.3 percent of FGAs and 85.7 percent of PATs. It was a decent showing overall, including 4-for-6 from 50-plus yards, but he missed three kicks in the season finale and finished with the third fewest points per game among placekickers with more than four appearances. Slye has a strong leg, so he can at least emerge as a streaming option if second-year QB Sam Howell elevates the Washington offense to respectability. Read Past Outlooks
Signing with Jacksonville
Slye is signing a one-year contract with the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jags and Commanders now have swapped kickers, after Brandon McManus signed with Washington last week. The difference is that McManus figures to essentially be handed a starting job, whereas Slye is less proven and may have to compete with reserve/future signee Riley Patterson. Slye's career field-goal percentage (82.3) and PAT percentage (88.5) both are subpar by modern standards, though he does have a strong leg and has made 20 of 32 tries from 50-plus yards in his career.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely starter for Commanders
Slye appears to have won the kicking job in Washington after Michael Badgley was released Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Slye has been the kicker in Washington to close each of the last two seasons, though he was inconsistent in 2022. He particularly struggled from more than 40 yards away, converting only 12 of his 16 attempts in that range. As a result, the team brought in Badgley as competition, though Slye appears to have retained his roster spot for now.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
The Commanders re-signed Slye to a two-year deal this offseason, after he joined the team
midseason and connected on all 12 of his field-goal attempts. The former Panther has one of
the NFL's strongest legs, but he went just 9 of 17 from 50-plus yards in his two years with
Carolina before being released last summer. Slye may face competition for his job this
preseason, and he’s attached to a subpar offense either way.
